Home Organization - Folding that Freakin' Fitted Sheet!

HEY ALL!

I have been having a nightmare of a time this weekend doing enough laundry to fill a castle ( and I am not sure where it all came from). The hardest part, which I usually push to the end of the list, was folding the clean linens. In particular, the freakin' fitted sheets are what gives me the moment of insanity.

If your linen
closet/cabinet/pile looks anything like mine, then you have your fitted sheets
in a big frustrated, rolled up, massive ball of a sheet. I found this tutorial with images, that
ACTUALLY WORKED!!! I have to share this
trick with you so your closet/cabinet/pile (and mine) can finally have a chance
at looking like the magazines…. OR at least nice enough that you aren’t running
full speed, screaming in horror, trying to stop guests before they open your
linen closet J

HOW TO FOLD A FITTED
SHEET

How to:

1. With the
sheet inside out, place one hand in each of two adjacent corners.

2. Bring your
right hand to your left, and fold the corner in your right hand over the one in
your left, so the corner on top is right side out.

3. Next, reach down and pick up
the corner that is adjacent to the one that was in your right hand (it will be
hanging in front), and fold it over the other two; this third corner will be
inside out.

4. Bring the
last corner up, and fold it over the others so it is right side out.

5. Lay the
sheet flat, and straighten it into the shape shown above.

6. Fold the
two edges in, folding the edge with elastic in first, so all elastic is hidden.

7. Fold the strip
into a smaller rectangle.

8. Continue
folding until rectangle is the size you want.

NOTE:
directions made for a right-handed person; if you are a "leftie" then
use the hand opposite the one suggested above
